In previous parts, we created the movement for the paddle and the ball, set up the bricks and the script for collisions, added scores to our Flash game, and in our last tutorial, we set it up to go to a “You Win” screen. In this tutorial, we will set up a players “lives”, as well as what will happen when the player runs out of lives. spitshine Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:00:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28598/flash-tutorial-creating-a-brick-breaking-paddle-game-in-flash-part-5 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28598/flash-tutorial-creating-a-brick-breaking-paddle-game-in-flash-part-5 <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/28551.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> The third part of a Flash tutorial on making a Flash game similar to the old BreakOut game for Atari.
